[eLvErDe]

Hi,

Here is the new user for snmpd:

Debian-snmp     Debian-snmp     /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u Debian-snmp -g Debian-snmp -I -smux mteTrigger mteTriggerConf -f

cat /etc/debian_version 
9.0

Regards, Adam.

Altough systemd does not use /etc/default/snmpd in this case, it's confusing to have settings different in different places.
Also, there is apparently a Debian remix without systemd :)
